WWE shouldn't buy TNA

There's all kinds of talk circulating online about the impending sale of TNA. Sinclair Broadcasting, which owns Ring of Honor, and WWE have both been brought up in the conversation. It's a bad idea for WWE to make this move. While TNA is no where near WCW was in the late 90s and early 2000s and really not even competition for WWE, a buyout would hurt the overall business. It's hard to argue that when Vince McMahon purchased WCW in 2001, it didn't take long for the product to take a hit too. Competition breeds quality entertainment. My hope is someone buys TNA with a big enough bank account to give WWE a run for its money.

Yes I'm a loyal WWE guy. I have been for more than 30 years and never want to see the company go out of business. A stronger number two company would be better for business. However I would argue WWE is in a pretty good place right now between NXT and the New Era mantra the company is pushing.I don't think Vince McMahon will buy TNA. I wouldn't mind ROH and TNA merging and becoming more competitive. But I'm not going to hold my breath. Whoever ends up with TNA needs to have a head for business and a passion for wrestling. It's a rarity and a trait McMahon poses and has been nearly impossible to replicate.
